Psalm 39:3-5

Revised Standard Version

³ my heart became hot within me.

then I spoke with my tongue:

⁴“Lord, let me know my end,
    and what is the measure of my days;
    let me know how fleeting my life is!
⁵Behold, thou hast made my days a few handbreadths,
    and my lifetime is as nothing in thy sight.
Surely every man stands as a mere breath!Selah
